STGB Chapter 157

Episode 157 Investigator (3)

A newbie wearing a goblin mask.

Strictly speaking, I can say that I’m a newbie and that person is a returning player, but…….

I’m sorry, but if you’ve been here for a while, you should know what’s changed, right? Or listen carefully to the patch notes that seniors told you.

“Enough……”

The moment the goblin struggled to open his mouth, I immediately erased my life. However, if it ends like this, I will be recognized as just a bad-tempered bastard.

[At least this much.]

I decided on today’s lines while remembering the last words I left before leaving.

The important thing in concept quality is consistency.

“I did it just in case because a new person came.”

Soon, he recited briefly with disappointment.

I expected a little because there was a new person, but it seemed like it was as expected.

As if he wasn’t just bullying, he was trying to find out his level.

“That’s no fun.”

As if that was the purpose, he looked away from the goblin mask. And, including the clown, he scans the antlers of the fox crescent moon one by one.

I put the meaning that if you talk about boring things today, the disappointment will grow.

“Don’t worry about Fishit. This time, Lion, I brought you something that might interest you.”

I didn’t even answer.

I just sat with my chin on my chin and waited quietly.

I’m thinking this in my mind.

‘It must be really important information for a clown to say this?’

After all, is this why everyone rolls their subordinates like that?

It was a time when I pretended to be indifferent.

rattle.

When the time came, the door to the Round Table was closed.

This means that there are no more members to participate.

However, there was one thing to do before the meeting began in earnest.

“Calm down, goblins.”

“This person is also funny. He always pretends to be so great.”

“Compared to that time, Mr. Saja was considerate, but it’s still like this! Haa! Doesn’t it make me feel ashamed because of you?”

The fox and the antlers laughed as if they agreed with the clown’s words.

“Certainly… not as much as then.”

“Yes. This time I was able to endure it.”

Seeing the two of them slightly glancing at me as if thanking me for watching, I felt a little stingy.

It was for a simple reason.

‘That was the maximum output…….’

The ability to turn it off and on freely is the maximum.

I practiced countless times after watching the Carlstein family live in real life, but once I went into serious mode, I couldn’t turn it off at will.

Still, I think it’s a good thing that you interpret it as caring.

Is this why people have to be present?

“I’m sorry. I’m fine now.”

Anyway, the goblin also came to its senses.

As soon as our eyes met, I averted my gaze, as if the incident a while ago had left me with a trauma.

‘Certainly, he seems inferior compared to the other four.’

Just looking at the fox mask, that’s the case.

Even though he lived with my heart for a long time, he was wary of me and careful, but he wasn’t so afraid.

“Then who should we start with?”

Soon the fox let go of his luck and looked at the clown.

Then the clown shrugged.

“Isn’t delicious food supposed to be enjoyed at the end? Why don’t we start with Goblin-san?”

“Kuhm, that’s what.”

Soon, the goblin cleared his throat and spit out the information as if to make up for his ignorance earlier.

“Everyone will know that High Priest Ludwig of the Stars has gone missing.”

“So what?”

“The culprit was Orculis. He said he was kidnapping and using it.”

Could it be this bastard priest?

so you know?

I thought so, but the light emitted by the round table jewel was red.

“Fisit, it seems that more than half of you know this story?”

Somehow the taste was bitter.

It hasn’t been more than 15 days since the letter was delivered.

Like Baekho Lee, those who might already know have heard about it—

“You’d better get used to it quickly. If you’re going to satisfy those two, ordinary information won’t work.”

huh?

“I didn’t know about it. Maybe the temple can empower the royal family with this incident.”

Listening to the words of the fox and the crescent moon, it seems that the two did not know the information.

‘Then the red light came on because me, the clown, and the antlers knew about this?’

Unknowingly, I tsk and clicked my tongue.

But have you been watching me all this time?

The clown looked at me, stood up, and annoyed the other three.

“Hey, there’s no such thing as an unspoken rule anymore? I guess I decided not to say that I didn’t know about it openly like this.”

“I’m sorry. I felt sorry for the goblins.”

“I just skipped it when we were alone. But there are new people, right? Let’s all be careful now. Okay?”

“That’s right.”

Oh, there used to be a rule like this.

Well, if it keeps going like this, it will inevitably be known who knows what information and who doesn’t.

This part has been bothering me for a while, but thanks to the clown, it worked out.

‘But for some reason, I don’t think it was because of me…….’

This happened once at the last meeting.

[Mr. Crescent Moon, don’t be too discouraged. You wouldn’t normally know what you said?]

At that time, the clown acted in this way first.

That’s what it means.

‘Did you just decide that the information could be used to infer your identity?’

I’m not sure, but it seems quite possible.

However, if that guess is true…

‘The clown is from the priest’s side or from the underground city. It must be one of them.’

The latter seems most likely.

I can’t imagine a clown working in a temple.

Well, maybe he’s deliberately trying to conceive like me.

‘I’m sure this isn’t what’s important right now.’

Soon, I returned to the meeting and listened to the information the goblins continued to reveal.

Was it a shock that the red light appeared in the previous information?

“The goddess of the stars has given an oracle.”

In the next information, a green light came on right away.

But was this something that even the clown didn’t know about?

“I want to buy information on who the oracle was given to.”

“That’s because I don’t know…….”

“A story that even the Paladins don’t know about. It seems they’re really hiding it in the temple?”

“Didn’t you decide not to say that!!”

“Oh, excuse me. But I know everything anyway, so why are you so sensitive about baking?”

At that, the goblin mask glanced at me, and the clown laughed as if he hadn’t prayed.

“Do you think he cares about you?”

A goblin mask that seemed to be displeased, but couldn’t refute anything.

I made notes in my mind indifferently.

[Goblin Mask = Paladin.]

Anyway, the meeting continued after that.

After the goblin, it was the fox who was sitting next to him.

“Double Numbers will be up on the Cheung Gong Auction House next month.”

double number.

So in other words, it means that the number items between 11 and 99 will be auctioned.

But was the clown’s words to follow the rules valid?

There was no conversation to speak of as the information was spit out, but the air became heavy.

As if they looked at each other as if they were competitors.

‘Hoo, I have to break through the hole-in-the-wall auction house quickly.’

The Celestial Auction House is located in Karnon, the Ecliptic.

And in order to enter the ecliptic Karnon, you must gain more reputation than you do now or raise your explorer level to build up your merit.

That should take at least a year.

‘I don’t even have the money to buy Double Numbers in the first place. I’ll have to give up this time.’

I neatly closed my lingering feelings.

I don’t know exactly what item it is, and if I get that much money anyway, it would be right to use the ‘Garpas Necklace’ I got at the count’s banquet.

“The royal family is making a plan to subdue Noark.”

Following the fox, the deer antlers spoke information and a green light appeared. It was said that a subjugation army would be formed, and Lee Baek-ho’s words were true.

As advised, don’t even go there.

Next came the crescent moon.

“Something supposed to be the equipment of one of Orculis’ members, the Dragon Slayer, has been put up on the black market. Even though he says there is no Dragon Slayer, there must be something wrong with him.”

Once again, the green light came on.

I barely managed to keep my composure in the posture of resting my chin.

You said you were on the black market?

I only took one dragon slaughter sword?

I was taken aback at first, but I quickly pictured the situation in my head.

‘It would be correct to assume that what Baekho said was true.’

The dragon slayer lost his memory.

Maybe by that drug then.

It must have been the person who took the drug and sold the remaining equipment on the black market.

‘Now it’s finally the clown’s turn.’

Going clockwise starting with the goblins, it was the clown’s turn. Expectations were conveyed from the gathered eyes as much as the ground rice was laid in front of them.

“Hmm, would you like to go first, Mr. Investigator?”

“You seem pretty confident.”

“Sure. If you talk about boring things you know all over here, then the investigator might not come next time, right?”

I smiled and nodded my head.

I don’t mean to go along with some silly pranks, so just do it in the original order.

“Well then, what can I do? The story that Mr. Saja will tell you may be more enjoyable!”

The clown shrugged his shoulders contemptuously.

Then, bending his body bizarrely, he stretched and threw it.

“In 3 years, up to six people will be able to create a binding magic.”

Silence followed the words spoken in a playful voice.

And everyone moved their gaze to the center of the round table.

“It’s a green light…….” This

means that the clown’s words are true.

Or at least it meant that the clown believed it to be true.

“Crazy to think such a thing would be possible.”

“The guild, the royal family, the clan… Everything will change.”

The tacit rule mentioned by the clown and the members each spewing out their astonishment.

That’s only natural.

This not only means that the range of explorers’ activities is much wider, starting with the basic team composition…

‘Six people can fit on the last floor?’

This is the same as increasing the probability of clearing the game by several times.

Because five and six people are distinctly different. Whether it

is a 10x mode or a 100x mode, it means that combinations and synergies that were not possible in previous games are possible.

However, the clown can only It just stared at me.

The reaction of the other members seemed to be okay.

“Now, how about it?”

The eyes hidden in the small hole met me.

The emotions contained there were so clear.

‘This is not a child who wants to be praised. ‘

I smiled and opened my mouth.

To be honest without harming the concept.

“This is a bit interesting.”

Earn a compliment sticker.

***

There is a saying that praise makes

even a whale dance. But…….

There is a huge gap in terms of efficiency.

What really makes people passionate is the future.

It’s the reward they eagerly hoped for and expected.

“Hmmmm, then it’s your turn now, Mr. Susan?”

The clown who received the compliment sticker was awkward. “I’m

worried

.

”

Actually, I prepared some information in advance that I can solve here today.

But…

‘The quality of the information has gone up too much.’

Maybe it’s thanks to what I said last time, everyone feels like they’re pulling out their money.

In the case of the clown, they made up their minds.

Information on the 6-person bonding magic?

Results that would not have been possible if they hadn’t picked up the concept of mysticism.

“It’s a good thing… …..’

The burden is even greater. What

on earth should I

tell you

?

It’s a problem to pick out information that is useless even if you know it like a bandemon.

Besides, bringing up the labyrinth while everyone else is talking about the outside would be a bit

strange in terms of flow.

Soon after, I calculated the wavelength this information would bring and made a decision.

And… ”

I was curious about the oracle

earlier. ” “I

don’t

want to talk about the reason—” He

cuts off the words of the clown who misunderstood my intentions with a single stroke, reciting.

“It was an oracle with

holy relics .” “Yes?” The clown, who had been dazed for a moment, came to

his

senses as if he had heard

something unheard of

. Contrary to his tone, his voice was cold and subdued.

‘Yes, what is the holy relic is important to you. It is not who received the oracle.’ I replied with

a

happy smile, ”

If you bring

something interesting again

. ”

I

can’t imagine what that could be…

”

I’m looking forward to it
